Trade was very heavy to-day in all lines.
Our wholesale merchants are in receipt
of numbers OF letters from all over West
and Northwest Texas in regard to the
crops, and all say that fair crops of small
grain will be made, and that never before
in the history OF Texas was there such a
great acreage in cotton.
Eggs are advancing, and while some
lots were sold to-day at prices quoted,
many others brought as high as l21@l3
cents.
New crop cabbage is now coming to
market in crates.
Coffee has advanced &c on the entire list
Bananas now in market are of better

GOOD WORD FOR THE CREDITOR.
The common feeling respecting debtors
and creditors is often erroneous, and, as
is common with fallacies, it affects with
double force the young and inexperienced,
says the New York Ledger. Debtors are
represented in the ordinary language of
large portion Of society as 8 set Of ami
able, unfortunate, and most interesting
persons. Creditors, on the other hand,
are represented as eXecrabIe wretChes
with hardness of heart that would dis
grace the eXeCutioner. The debtor may
be al amiabIe and interesting person, for
we often find these characteristics united
in him; but the young must beware how
they set down debtors, as class, as pure
ly estimsble and entitled to sympathy,
while they st the same time look upon
creditors as only ruthless prosecutors.
Creditors are not invariably rich, as one
might suppose them to be. They
are more frequently poor, industri-
Gus persons, who,, in losing money by
their debtors, are apt to be made debtors
themselves, and thereby ruined. In fact,
the case stands generally thus: An idle
or extravagant person procures the
means of gratifying his bad appetites and
is enabled to show himself off as 8 very

The MANCHESTER, New Hampshire
Union, thus speaks edltorially of the
Utah Statehood scheme: sit would be
OF interest to know how much of the
opposition directed toward Utah is by
reason of hostility to polygamy and how
much is due simply to hostility to the
Mormons merely as Mormons. 1t is
difficult to see on what just ground
Utah could be excluded, if the Consti-
tuition of the proposed State should
positively prohibit polygamy, the Con-
stitution thus being in accord with the
laws of the United States governing the
Territories. With the particular relig
ious belief held by any community, the
government has nothing to do, and ii
assurance is given that the authority of
the government shall be respected, it
will be delicate matter to distinguish
between intolerance and an honest con-
vlction that the Mormon doctrines are
among the most abominatle that ever
swayed the minds of men. If the op-
position against Utah as State is based
solely upon polygamous practices, it is
evident that opposition must fall when
polygamy ceases:

BRAZIL LEARNED good deal from our
civil war in the matter of abolishing
slavery. 1t learned what our statesmen
refused to learn until it was too late to
take advantage of the knowledge, that
it is much better and cheaper to abolish
slavery by paying for the "chattels, !"
than it is to declare them free, and then
fight to set them al liberty. Brazil has
been several years in freeing the slaves,
the process being slow and steady so as
not TO materially affect property rights
nor disturb the labor market. Many
thousands Of negroes have been set free,
and their owners received compensation
for them. In seven years more there
will be no slavery in the empire. The
desire to get rid OF the hated system is
so intense that at the present session of
the Brazilian Parliament bill has been
introduced, providing for the immediate
emancipation of all slaves, the only con-
dition being that those freed shall labor
for their present masters for two wears
at fair wages. Ii is not believed the
bill will pass, as the present law tor
gradual emancipation and fair compen
Sation TO owners, is generally accepted
as being just and humane.

UNWARRANTED INTERFERENCE

An interesting and probably instruct
i've suit will soon be brought to trial in
Chicago. 1t will be particularly inter
esting to labor organizations. The &C
ton is one brought by master painter
against a walking delegate" of the
Knights of Labor, based on the fact
that the delegate induced men in the
employ of the plaintiff to quit work be-
cause he had refused to pay to the
Painters Union the initiation fee and
dues OF certain of his workmen. 1t is
to be hoped the court will award full
damages. The action complained of is
unjust to the workmen and also inter.
feres with the fulfillment of contracts
entered into by the employer of labor.
It is an interference with the rights of
everybody, for all members of a com
munity are so clearly linked with each
other. that each suffers directly or in
directly from want of thrift, from the
idleness of individuals. The employer
does not inquire of his man if be paws
his baker or his butcher. If the
butcher should present his unpaid bill
to the employer and threaten that I'M
less the latter settled it al the other
employees would be ordered ont on a
strike the butcher would probably be
handed over to the police. Industry
could not thrive under such a system
of intermeddllng. The walking dele
gate in this case will probably be
mulcted in satisfactory sum, and
others should take warning from mis-
| experience.

THE PARsImoNous moNARcHs

Victoria has been Queen fifty years,
and as monarchs go has been very much
of success, but how much greater
would have been her success, how much
grsnder her character, if inordlnate
greed were not a Distinguishing feature
of her naturel 1t was announced dur
ing her recent jubilee celebration that
among the presents received by the
Queen was one of 1915 900 subscribed by
three million women. The cablegram
bringing the information contained the
statement that Her Majesty accepted
this and graciously thanked the DON
ors." 1t costs the British people nearly
So GOO, 900 year to maintain the house
hold of the Queen, this amount includ-
ing the various sums settled upon her
and her offspring. 1t costs the Queen
probably one-fourth of her allowance to
live, and the remainder she invests for
her personal benefit. She is so thrifty
person that to day she is perhaps the
richest woman in the world. And yet
on the very verge of the grave she S
more greedy than ever for gold, her love
of wealth being controlling mania. 1t
was well enough and not at all i'm
proper for her to accept the generous
gift above mentioned, but what grand |
and glorious act it would have been if |
she had Immediately announced her
intention of devoting the money to the
ameliorati@n of the poor among her
subjects In her afflicted Ireland there
are hundreds of thousands of her peo-
pie without homes of their own, half
clad and half starved. Work as faith
fully as they may, and be as careful of
their earnings and as economical in
their expenditures as they can, and
they will yet suffer for the necessaries
Of life. If Victoria had sent this $780,
BOO over to Ireland; and directed that it
be spent for food and clothes
.or the unfortunate, poverty-stricken
men, women and children who
IRE being cruelty driven from the novels
hey have been occupying, because
hey cannot pay the exorbitant rents
low nobly the Queen would have sp-
'earediin the eyes of the world, and how
much better her right thinking sub
ects would love her. London is
rowded with poverty-stricken and sick
eople; to them the Queens gift
Tould bring relief, if not comfort, and
IS distribution would bring forth from
he hearts of millions prayers for the
appiness and welfare of the monarch.
But Victoria will not devote the $780, I
10 to the relief of the wretchedness of !
er miserable subjects. She will think
tile OF their wants and sufferings, and
LII let the money swell her already
pacious purse. Her pursimony is a
emish on the character of the other
Use good and noble Queen. Her stin- <
ness and greed will forever be stain
)on her fame.

THE CONSTITUTION.

The Constitutional Convention has
concluded its labors, and is doubtless
proud of its work. 1t has been demon
strated that the trust reposed in the
delegates by the public was not mis-
placed. The Constitution is an excel
lent instrument. 1t is broad, liberal,
and thoroughly republican. 1t also
recognizes the local situation and con-
dItion of things, and has undertaken
to deal with matters as they are. The
delegates have shown their familiarity
With the public sentiment of the ma
character of that sentiment have
worked intelligently and honestly TO
frame a Constitution which will be in
accord with that sentiment. They have
understood what was absolutely essen
tiaI TO the relief of Utah from
the condition of Territorial serfdom,
and have framed an instrument which
ought to be satisfactory to every fair
minded man in the Union outside this |
Territory. 1t should be peculiarly
satisfactory to those men who have |
fought the admission of Utah on the |
ground that the community sane
toned practice not in harmony with
the nations idea of morals and modern
civilization.
Having performed their labors intel
ligently and courageously as able and
braYe men, it now remains for the
voters to be equally capable and fear
less. Unless the Constitution shall be
ratified by the citizens entitled to vote,
this effort for Statehood and the conse-
quent enlargement of community and ,
individual rights WILL fall to the ground :,
without further proceedings. If the
people shall refuse to approve the
work Of the convention, we will hear -
no more of Statehood for long years to
come, and will continue to suffer the
abuses and deprivations which have
characterized the management of the
Territory by the general government
for these twenty-five years. But we be-
lieve the people will be as manly as the [
delegates have been; that they will IN [
derstand the necessity of employing o
their power to unload the burden they 0
have so long carried, and aid themselves r.
to the full citizenship to which they are n
entitled. Our confidence in the intelli- n
gence and bravery of the people is such d
that we believe they will vote for the U
Constitution and cheerfuliy accept the tt
conditions it imposes, for the sake of p
relief from the expressions now suf- st
fered. With full vote and a good la
majority in favor OF the Con- T
We can go to Congress and 10
The country with fair hope that our ap. g.
peal will be needed and vur righteous a.
request favorably answered. IL
The Constitution is out in time for "
to carefully examine its b,
provisions before the election. We VI
hope all will so scrutinize it al
and being satisfied that State under sy
such charter will be eminently better d.
than Territory, will cast their votes sc
Tor the Constitution and Utah's emanci- eI
patton. d

ing the shaft on mine situated in the
vicinity of the Original Butte, at a depth
of $50 feet they broke through into
what they believe to be an underground
river, and some of them go so far as to
assert that it is branch OF the Deer
Lodge river. Water came into the shaft
so fast that the men had to climb the
ladder three rungs at time in order to
get out of its way Since than there
have been four pumps at work trying to
lower the water and they cannot phase
it.
The owner of the property says that
a sort of fatality has always seemed to
hang over the mine. In the first place,
the shaft house was burned down.
Then, after a new one had been con-
structed, crazy patient escaped from
the hospital one night, butted the
shaft-house door in with his head, and
was found unhurt at the bottom of the
shaft soon after by party of officers
who were pursuing him. They brought
him up almost 10 the top of the shaft.
when he Jumped back 20 tne bottom
aud receis ed injuries from which he
died two days afterwards. Next, two
men stole the Windlass, tools, etc, from
the shaft-house (this being but few
months ago), and both of them have
since died. Now an effort is being made
to drown him out with an underground
river. He thinks from the many mis-
| fortunes connected with the working
of the propertythat there must be some
thing uncommonly rich down there
somewhere, and is determined to get 10

TuE degraded drinking habits OF half

THE degraded drinking habits OF half
a century ago are illustrated in the tol-
lowing story: A wet and witty
Scotch barrister one Saturday en-
countered an equally Bscchanalian judi
ciaI friend in the course of walk to
Leith. Remembering that he had a
good leg of mutton roasting for dinner,
he invited his friend to accompany him
home, and they accordingly dined to-
gether. After dinner was over, wine
and cards commenced; and, as the two
friends were alike fond of each of these
recreations, neither ever thought of re-
minding the other of the advance Of
time till the next day, as it happened,
about 1915 O'Clock. The judge then
rising to depart, the host walked behind
him to the outer door, with candle in
each hand, by way of showing him out;
"Tak' care, my lord; tax care" cried
the kind host, most anxiously holding
the candles out of the door into the
sunny street, along which the people
were pouring to church, "tak' care
there's twa staps!"
